Seconds count when someone needs CPR. We had a successful outcome recently when there was a sudden collapse, and it was recognized immediately. Bystanders quickly initiated CPR, called 911, and correctly applied an AED all in seconds. Their quick actions saved a life that day. You too can make that difference. Fire District 3 offers CPR classes once a month. When the class is over, you will earn you CPR certification card and you too can make a difference during a time of need. For more information on CPR classes and registering for a class visit www.ccfd3.org or call 360-683-4242 to sign up for classes.

It’s EMS Week! We want to recognize the commitment of our EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, and support personnel who answer the call day and night. Thank you for the care you provide, the calm you bring in emergencies, and the difference you make in the lives of our community members every single day.

At Fire District 3, EMS is at the heart of what we do. In 2025, our District responded to 9,824 requests for service. Of those calls, 82% were EMS-related, showing just how often our community depends on emergency medical care when it matters most. Of those EMS responses, 75% were Basic Life Support (BLS) calls and 25% were Advanced Life Support (ALS) calls, reflecting the wide range of care our crews provide every day. While fire-related calls made up about 1.06% of our total responses, the remainder included burn complaints, service calls, false alarms, unintentional alarms, and cancelled calls.

Please join us in celebrating EMS Week and thanking the responders who are always there when help is needed most.
